Samsung Australia has today unveiled its 2026 home audio range, introducing an expanded portfolio of design-led Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars crafted to deliver more personalised listening experiences for Australians. The line-up includes the all-new Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 wireless speakers, the next generation of powerful Q-Series soundbars, and refreshed Sound Tower models, each refined to complement modern lifestyles while enhancing home theatre experiences. This latest range builds on Samsung’s legacy as the world’s number one soundbar brand for 12 consecutive years[1] and continues Samsung’s commitment to offer a sound device to suit every Australian lifestyle.

“Samsung has been at the forefront of how Australians experience sound at home for over a decade. This leadership comes from combining deep audio expertise with a strong understanding of how listening habits have evolved; from immersive TV experiences to streaming music and podcasts. In 2026, we’re building on that foundation with audio that delivers premium performance while adapting seamlessly to everyday life and personal style,” said Simon Howe, Director – Visual Display and Brand Memory, Samsung Australia.

“Our expertly crafted Music Studio series and Q-Series soundbar ranges bring to life this combination of premium performance with timeless designs to meet the needs of various Australian lifestyles. Our latest audio products automatically optimise sound based on what you’re watching or listening to, and your surroundings, delivering a more immersive, personalised experience to every home.”

Music Studio 7 & 5 Wi-Fi Speakers: Inspired by the Origin of Sound Itself

The all-new Samsung Music Studio Series is designed to deliver immersive audio for music, podcasts and TV audio, while perfectly harmonising with Australian living spaces. Both Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 share a timeless “Dot Design” by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, sculpted in minimalist forms to avoid being linked to a particular era or style.

“Something very contemporary, like consumer electronics, can quickly become outdated if designed in a style that doesn’t endure. When the style is wrong, even the ergonomics can feel compromised, and the object becomes its own limitation,” said Mr. Bourourllec.

“In a very conscious way, I tried to root the design of the Music Studio models in what I consider the ethos of a speaker: a cone with a point in the middle. That’s what I always saw as a child behind the front cover of a speaker and it’s a shape that our brain computes easily. The finishes of the Music Studio speakers do not clearly evoke a specific material and detailing was reduced to a minimum to balance modernity with a more in-temporal approach. What has emerged is two highly technical and powerful wireless speakers that appear as furniture or art that can sit in a teenagers’ bedroom, in a workshop, or on the mantel of a modern or classically styled home.”

Music Studio 7: See the music, listen to the art

Designed to bring sound and art together, the Music Studio 7 delivers powerful 3.1.1 channel audio, creating rich, clear sound that fills spaces with depth and character. Whether its helicopters flying across a TV screen, an orchestra in a concert hall, or an emerging band with deep bass, Australians can feel fully immersed with support for wired or wireless Dolby Atmos 3D audio[2].

Complementing the Music Studio 7, the Music Studio 5 uses a built-in woofer and front-firing tweeters alongside waveguide technology to help direct and spread sound evenly across a room, enabling Australians to enjoy great audio wherever the speaker is placed.

Across the Music Studio Series, Hi-Resolution Audio helps enable Australians to hear each layer of music via enhanced decoding and signal processing with support for up to 24‑bit/96 kHz. Samsung’s new Pattern Control technology further refines the experience by directing sound, reducing distortion, and dispersing audio more evenly throughout a space.

Both speakers also utilise AI processing to enhance bass and tailor sound to both content and environment. Dynamic Bass Control[3] preserves low frequencies and reduces distortion, while SpaceFit Sound Pro[4] customises audio based on room dimensions and layout. Active Voice Amplifier Pro[5] further improves clarity by detecting background noise and enhancing dialogue.

New in 2026, Q-Symphony supports pairing up to five Samsung sound devices[6], helping Australians craft a personalised home theatre setup based on their home set-up and passions. The feature can also automatically adjust sound based on where speakers are in the room,[7] helping to provide optimal performance whatever the setup. Via Q-Symphony, both Music Studio models can also be paired with a compatible Samsung TV and soundbar to work in unison for more immersive audio when watching movies and shows[8].

Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 can also wirelessly connect to various devices via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, making it easy to play music and podcasts from popular streaming platforms. This includes a special integration with Spotify Tap, which enables Australians to double tap their phone to the Music Studio speaker to launch a playlist of recommended songs tailored to their taste. Another simple double tap again will conjure a fresh playlist – without needing to open your phone [9].  Further, two Music Studios can Stereo Play as dedicated left and right channels while up to 10 Music Studio models can connect via Group Play to create a spacious, flowing soundstage that flows naturally throughout the home[10].

The Music Studio 7 and the Music Studio 5 are now available in select retailers nationwide in Black and White models. The Music Studio 7 has an RRP of $749 while the Music Studio 5 has an RRP of $499 with pricing set at dealer discretion.

Samsung Q-Series Soundbars: Elevating Home Theatre to New Heights

For the ultimate cinematic experience, Samsung Q-Series soundbars continue to deliver powerful, detailed surround sound across all your content. In 2026, Samsung’s Q-Series soundbar range is helmed by the HW-Q990H and supported by the HW-Q930H 9.1.4ch soundbar and HW-Q800H 5.1.2ch soundbar, and HW-Q600H 3.1.2ch soundbar.

As the flagship, the HW-Q990H is Samsung’s most immersive soundbar yet, with true 11.1.4 channel sound designed to surround Australians from every angle.[11] Wireless Dolby Atmos[12] sound helps crisp sound flow around and above audiences to ensure every beat is heard, just as in a cinema. The HW-Q990H also features a compact dual active subwoofer with AI Dynamic Bass Control[13] which helps ensure powerful bass, while remaining space efficient.

New across the 2026 Q-Series range[14] is Samsung Sound Elevation[15]. This feature enhances listening comfort by using up-firing speakers to expand the perceived height of audio, helping dialogue feel more naturally aligned with on-screen action rather than the soundbar below.

Auto Volume is also now included, designed to reduce sudden volume changes when switching between channels, content, or streaming services[16]. By analysing incoming audio and normalising levels, it helps ensure a more consistent listening experience without needing to use the remote.

Samsung’s Q-Series soundbar range is now available in leading retailers nationwide. Pricing is set at dealer discretion with RRPs:

• Q-Series HW-Q990H/XY: RRP $1,999
• Q-Series HW-Q930H/XY: RRP $1,699
• Q-Series HW-Q800H/XY: RRP $1,099
• Q-Series HW-Q600H/XY: RRP $899

Rounding out the 2026 line-up, Samsung’s refreshed Sound Tower range delivers a portable audio solution designed for both indoor use and casual outdoor entertainment to help Australians release the beat wherever the moment takes them.[17]

Engineered for clear and balanced sound across a variety of environments, the Sound Tower MX-ST50F delivers up to 240W of output, supported by an enhanced acoustic design for wide audio coverage. Alongside the MX-ST40F, the range incorporates dual woofers and advanced waveguide-assisted tweeters to help ensure consistent clarity and dispersion.[18]

Both models also feature an IPX4 rating for its splash-resistance.[19] Designed for portability, the Sound Tower range also offers extended battery life. The ST50F provides up to 18 hours of playtime and includes a telescopic handle and wheels for easy transport, while the ST40F delivers up to 12 hours with a convenient top carry handle.[20]

The Sound Tower’s Party Lights+ system transforms any gathering into an immersive audio-visual experience. With five mood presets and six dynamic lighting patterns, users can create the perfect vibe using the Samsung Sound Tower App[21]. The lighting system reacts in real time, analysing beats and frequencies to activate multiple LED zones in sync with the music. Effects such as Wave, Trail, Spark, Breeze, Flow and Flare help set a wide range of moods from festive, high-energy moments to relaxed, ambient settings, making the Sound Tower a vibrant centrepiece for virtually any occasion.

Samsung’s 2026 Sound Tower models are available on Samsung.com/au and via select retailers only. The Sound Tower MX-ST50F has an RRP of $699 while the Sound Tower MX-ST40F has an RRP of $479 with pricing set at dealer discretion.

Samsung announces a new Sound Tower range – coming to Australia in 2026. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced its new Sound Tower range – ST50F and ST40F models – its latest innovation in portable audio. Built for large gatherings, these new models combine acoustic technology with a dynamic, modern design to deliver an immersive party experience through both light and sound.

“The new Sound Tower sets a new standard in how consumers experience entertainment in both indoor and outdoor settings,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With customisable lighting effects and an upgraded form factor that produces fully encompassing sound, it underscores Samsung’s commitment to providing innovative audio solutions for the diverse lifestyles of customers.”

Powerful Party Sound

The Sound Tower’s acoustic structure delivers rich, room-filling sound with exceptional clarity and deep bass. With Samsung’s Waveguide technology applied to its dual dome tweeters, audio is distributed and enhanced to ensure a wider, more even soundstage. This optimisation provides crisp treble that can be heard clearly, while dual woofers deliver customisable bass with Deep, Punchy and Gentle modes, which allow listeners to tailor their experience to their preferences. Four additional sound modes — Standard, Wide, Stadium and Outdoor — let listeners further fine-tune their audio to match any setting, from backyard barbecues to packed dance floors.

Whether indoors or outdoors, users can enjoy long-lasting battery performance. A replaceable battery also ensures the party can continue without interruption. For an even more immersive soundscape, users can connect multiple compatible units through Auracast Group Play or pair two compatible Sound Towers via Stereo Play with True Wireless Stereo (TWS) for true left-right channel audio.

Vibrant Party Lights + For Every Mood

The Sound Tower’s Party Lights + system transforms any gathering into an immersive audiovisual experience. With five mood presets and six dynamic lighting patterns, users can set the perfect vibe using the Samsung Sound Tower App. The system reacts in real time, analysing music beats and frequencies to activate dozens of LEDs in sync with the rhythm. Customisable mood options include a wide range of effects, movements and colours, including Wave, Trail, Spark, Breeze, Flow and Flare — making it easy to create atmospheres that range from “Festival” to “Chill.”

LED lighting extends across five key areas of the speaker to deliver a 360° effect:

• Track light: an iconic LED racetrack-style light that surrounds the two woofer units to display vivid patterns.
• Ring light: LED lights highlight powerful colours around the two tweeter units.
• Line lights: four perimeter line lights that frame the body of the speaker for a moody effect.
• Crystal lights: centered at the base and the foot of the speaker to produce an energising atmosphere.
• Handle light: doubles as a functional detail, illuminating the control panel and providing support for a tablet or smartphone for easy interaction and control of music and settings

For added entertainment, built-in DJ Booth and Karaoke modes — as well as a guitar input — turn any space into a live stage, combining powerful sound and lighting for a true party-ready experience.

Portable and Built for Performance

Designed for versatility, the Sound Tower’s bold, geometric form, integrated lighting and transport-ready build make it as visually striking as it is functional. It redefines portable party audio with a balance of power, design and convenience. The new models also feature Samsung’s Grip & Roll design, with a bottom grip slot and integrated handle on the ST40F model, and the addition of wheels and a telescopic handle on the ST50F model for effortless mobility. Each model has been designed to deliver an elevated audio experience that matches a variety of needs:

• Sound Tower ST50F: 240W output, long lasting battery life, 6.5” dual woofers, 25mm dual dome tweeters, telescopic handle + wheels,.
• Sound Tower ST40F: 160W output, long lasting battery life, 5.25” dual woofers, 20mm dual dome tweeters, integrated handle.

The new Samsung Sound Tower will roll out to global regions from today. Australia will range the Sound Tower locally at a later date in 2026. For more information, visit www.samsung.com/au
